Captain EO

News

It's time to say farewell to Captain EO. And this time it's a forever kind of goodbye. Disney has announced that the on-again, off-again 3D film will leave Epcot forever on December 6 to make way for a new Disney/Pixar Short Film Festival.

After being gone for a few months while its home theater was used for previews of Tomorrowland and Inside Out, Captain EO has returned to the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot. The attraction first returned to Epcot in 2010 and some wondered if the closure earlier this year was the end, but it seems that Captain EO is here to stay at least for a while longer.

The Walt Disney Company has announced the 2015 Disney Legends and the honorees include George Lucas, composer Danny Elfman, and actress Susan Lucci. The Disney Legends Awards Ceremony takes place August 14 at the D23 Expo.

A special sneak preview of Tomorrowland is coming to the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot starting April 18. This Disney Parks-exclusive preview will also give guests a chance to check out the jet packs used in the film and see a display of concept art and photos from the set of the film.

The year was 1982. Nearly two decades after Walt Disney first unveiled his ambitious plan to create an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, a theme park created to honor his dream was finally ready to welcome the world through its turnstiles. From EPCOT Center to just EPCOT to Epcot, changes in the name of the park, itself, have signaled Disney's commitment to constant reinvention. Join me on a brief journey from where we started to where we are now.

Captain Eo fans will look stylish in this outfit inspired by an Epcot original. Disney fans either love him or hate him, but either way you'll be ready to save the world in this movie inspired outfit. Clean white jeans and a faux leather jacket show just a peek of the universe tank top beneath. To keep your style grounded on earth, add a pair of chunky white boots and this rainbow check seatbelt bag.

And because he's so adorable... how could we not add a plush Fuzzball!?!
